Headset/speakerphone

Taiwanese electronics maker LiteOn has developed the BSK-100, a Bluetooth speakerphone that also serves a headset, in both mono and stereo modes. The key is its six-level volume control, tuned to each of the speakerphone's particular functions. The 100 can also answer a call automatically if the phone it's paired with is set to do the same, which means that when clipped onto clothes, it can effectively become a hands-free walkie-talkie. The unit can of course be set to respond only to pushing the Talk button, as with most Bluetooth headsets. LiteOn has not published any pricing or release information. [Via SlashPhone]
